If you need some motivation to apply, here’s Jo Dery, who exhibited at CAKE 2014 and participated on a panel about animation. She also provided the official art for CAKE 2013. Jo had the following to say about CAKE:

“The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo embodies many things I deeply believe in: community, DIY culture, experimentation, thinking, making, and most importantly — sharing! The pleasure of participating in CAKE is something I look forward to each year. It is a celebration!”

The Fourth Annual Chicago Alternative Comics Expo will take place on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7, 2015 at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N Halsted Ave. If you have any questions about CAKE, please contact us.
